[T]he military is not civilian life, and I think the folks that have been in the military that have been in these very close situations with each other — there has to be a special bond there, and I think that that bond is broken if you open up to the military to transgenders, to hermaphrodites, to gays and lesbians.

Of course, you know you can’t “special-bond” with no queers. And you certainly can’t “special-bond” while being honest about who you are. That would be crazy!
